CBS just aired a short Amazing Race commercial. It was to announce the new day for the race as Sundays this fall. The footage was from TAR9. With so much info early this season, it seems like it will never get here!!

Take the Kogs link or the Puddin link and save it instead of opening. The right-click the file and choose "edit" and you'll see the source address (without any re-directs): rtsp://eyenet.rmod.llnwd.net/a134/o1/g2demand/entertainment/cbs_video/insider/primetime/amazing_race9/promos/race_promo.rmThe TAR 9 thing is a typo, maybe?

There are only three clips that look new to me, with recycled scenes from TAR1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 9. The airplane clip at 0:20, followed by the snowboarding dude in 0:21 (perhaps an opening sequence scene?). The Great Wall right at the end may have been visited before in TAR1, but the angle and helicopter shot is new.

ETA: I see Easter Island and a Chinese/Japanese temple on the strip right at the end, together with the famous landmarks TAR has visited including Cristo Redemptor, the Eiffel Tower, Mount Fuji, the Colosseum, Tower Bridge and the Taj Mahal. Probably doesn't mean much, but hey! (And is that Sargarda Familia in Barcelona?)

Found out that Neobie in Chinese means "f*king awesome"! No, really. Look it up!

tom: I have completed 5 consecutive NYC marathons (2001-2005) and am training for my 6 marathon in November. I have performed Stand Up Comedy in Clubs throughout Manhattan and have been invited to perform at The Improv, Stand Up NY, and Gotham Comedy Club to name a few.

lauren :I am into adventure sports like sky diving, intense hiking and rock climbing- I would love to hike the entire Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine- we'll see maybe someday.
